The sketch:

1st Voice Over:(and Roller Caption) 'THE BBC
WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD FOR THE LAST ITEM.
IT WAS DISGUSTING AND BAD AND THOROUGHLY DISOBEDIENT AND PLEASE
DON'T BOTHER TO PHONE UP BECAUSE WE KNOW IT WAS VERY TASTELESS, BUT
THEY DIDN'T REALLY MEAN IT AND THEY DO ALL COME FROM BROKEN HOMES
AND HAVE VERY UNHAPPY PERSONAL LIVES, ESPECIALLY ERIC. ANYWAY,
THEY'RE REALLY VERY NICE PEOPLE UNDERNEATH AND VERY WARM IN THE
TRADITIONAL SHOW BUSINESS WAY AND PLEASE DON'T WRITE IN EITHER
BECAUSE THE BBC IS GOING THROUGH AN UNHAPPY PHASE AT THE MOMENT --
WHAT WITH ITS FATHER DYING AND THE MORTGAGE AND BBC 2 GOING OUT WITH
MEN.'

2nd Voice Over:(and Roller Caption): 'THE BBC
WOULD LIKE TO DENY THE LAST APOLOGY. IT IS VERY HAPPY AT HOME AND
BBC 2 IS BOUND TO GO THROUGH THIS PHASE, SO FROM ALL OF US HERE GOOD
NIGHT, SLEEP WELL, AND HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY SUPER DAY TOMORROW, KISS,
KISS.'
